%X This research is aimed at describing one of pragmatic phenomena called politeness strategies. The objectives of this research are to describe the types and realizations of politeness strategy in Pitch Perfect 2.  This research was a descriptive qualitative research as it described the data in the form of sentences. The data were in the forms of sentences while the context of the data was conversations performed by the characters in Pitch Perfect 2. This research employed Brown and Levinson’s theory in revealing the objectives of the research.  The results of the research show that four politeness strategies proposed by Brown and Levinson are all used in Pitch Perfect 2. They are bald-on record, positive politeness, negative politeness, and off record. In terms of the realizations of politeness strategies, there are six realizations of bald-on record politeness strategy used in the movie i.e. showing disagreement, giving suggestion, requesting, warning, using imperative forms, and offering. There are eleven realizations of positive politeness used in Pitch Perfect 2 i.e. noticing and attending to hearer, exaggerating,  intensifying interest to hearer, using in-group identity markers, seeking agreement, avoiding disagreement, presupposing or asserting common ground, telling a joke, offering and promising, including both speaker and hearer in the activity, and assuming or asserting reciprocity. There are five realizations of negative politeness strategy used in Pitch Perfect 2 i.e. conventionally indirect, being pessimistic, minimizing the imposition, giving deference, and apologizing. In addition, there are four realizations of off record used in Pitch Perfect 2 i.e. giving hints, understanding, being ironic, and being vague or ambiguous. Positive politeness has the highest variety of realizations, but bald-on record is the strategy that is dominant in Pitch Perfect 2 since the coversations are mainly between close friends.
